1. In the hypothesis if I add fertilizer to plants they will grow taller what are the variables?
Independent variable Dependent variable
Fertilizer Height of plants
The one you are in your data
Control of

2. Form a sentence for writing a hypothesis
If we _(how we affect the independent variable), (independent variable), then the (dependent variable) will (how the dependent variable is affected).

3. A scientist wanted to know if the temperature of water changed when the depth increased
Use the Sentence formation to rewrite the above statement into a hypothesis

4. A scientist wanted to know if the color of a t-shirt worn affects the body temperature.
If we increase the darkness of the t-shirt worn, then the body temperature will increase
If we decrease the darkness of the t-shirt worn, then the body temperature will increase
If we decrease the darkness of the t-shirt then the body temperature will decrease
If we increase the darkness of the t-shirt then the body temperature will increase

AIM: How can we organize data collected from a controlled experiment?
DO NOW: \\ \fpm-f\nnaus\Desktop\Intro \SciMeth Question.xps
HOMEWORK: Regents review pack questions 20-25

7. While performing a controlled experiment we must collect DATA
Charts
Tables
Graphs
The best ways to collect and organize our data

8. The temperature at each depth of a pond is recorded below
4 degrees celsius at 200 meters, 12deg C at 100m, 50 meters 18 degrees celsius, 15 deg at 75, 150 meters= 5 degree celsius
Is there a better way to organize the data?

9. A scientist wanted to know if the temperature of water changed when the depth increased

10. How can we organize data collected during an experiment?

11. Creating a data table or chart
1- Title
The title should tell the information you are looking at
2-Create columns
The first column should be your independent variable
3- Name all columns
4- Add your data
5- Make sure to put in the units of measurement

12. Data Average Daily Height (cm) Day 1 Day2 Day3 Day4 Day5 Day6 Day7
Pot A(5plants) 2 4 6 8 10 14 16
Pot B (10 plants)
Analyze the data and write a conclusion

13. Growth of pea seeds Time (days) Growth (cm) Pot A Pot B 1 2 4 3 6 10 514 16 7

14. (each box or line increases by same amount)
Setting Up Line Graph
Create a title
Each axis must be labeled & indicate units
Independent variable (the cause) is represented on the horizontal axis (X-axis)
Dependent variable (the effect or result) is represented on the vertical axis (Y-axis)
Numbers on each axis must be consistent
(each box or line increases by same amount)
Points must be plotted in proper location, circled and connected

15. Making a line graph Choose a proper scale for each axis
The easiest numbers are: 1,2,3,5,10 or 20
If plotting more than one set of data on the same graph you must create a key or legend
Pot A
Pot B

16. Thursday 9/22/16 AIM: How can we analyze information on a line graph?
DO NOW: What are the two axis on a line graph?
Which axis is the horizontal? The vertical?
Where do we put the independent variable? The dependent variable?
HOMEWORK: Practice graph

19. YOU TELL ME…. Y X What color is the y-axis? What color is the x-axis?

20. Line Graph A line graph is a graph used to show change over time!!
What can time be measured in???
Seconds - Minutes - Hours – Days - Weeks - Months – Years - Decades - Centuries - etc.

21. (each box or line increases by same amount)
Setting Up Line Graph
Create a title
Each axis must be labeled & indicate units
Independent variable (the cause) is represented on the horizontal axis (X-axis)
Dependent variable (the effect or result) is represented on the vertical axis (Y-axis)
Numbers on each axis must be consistent
(each box or line increases by same amount)
Points must be plotted in proper location, circled and connected

22. X-axis and Y-axis
When you are making a line graph, the x-axis is always horizontal, and the y-axis is always vertical.
The x and y-axis usually starts with zero on a line graph
It is important to make sure that the intervals on our y-axis are always equal.
What do I mean by this?

23. Intervals or Scale
When we are setting up a line graph, we need to decide what intervals we want to use.
If we are graphing the temperature for a year, do we want to put 365 days on the graph, and 100 different temperatures?
A scale is a numerical value that each box on your axis will represent

26. Q & A
About how much money in total did this person spend on Monday and Thursday? How do you know?
Which day did this person spend the most money? How do you know?
This person spent the most money on Wednesday. I know this because the graph is the highest on Wednesday.
This person spent about $9.00 on Monday and Thursday. I know this because I looked at where the line was for Monday and Thursday and added the two amounts.

32. What is the Metric System?
The metric system is a system of measurement that is based on the number ten
It is often used in science and in countries around the world

33. How is it different?
The metric system uses meters, grams, liters and Celsius
The English System uses feet, ounces, gallons and Fahrenheit

35. What is mass?
Mass is the amount of matter in an object
Triple beam balance is used to measure mass
Measured in grams

36. What is weight?
Weight is the amount of gravity that acts upon an object

37. Are mass and weight the same?
Mass and weight are different.
Mass is the amount of matter in an object and weight is determined by the amount of gravity and matter in an object.
This is why your weight changes on different planets

38. How do we measure mass? Mass is measured by using a balance
The metric units for mass are the gram (g), and kilogram (kg)

39. The amount of matter in a given object
Triple-beam balance
Grams (g) mg

40. What is length?
Length is the distance between two points

41. How do we measure length?
Length is measured using a metric ruler or meter stick
The metric units for length are the meter (m), centimeter (cm), and the millimeter (mm)

44. What is volume?
Volume is the amount of space an object occupies

45. How do we measure volume?
We use a graduated cylinder for liquids
We use a ruler for rectangular solids
(L x W x H)
We use the water displacement method to determine the volume of irregularly shaped objects
The metric units for volume are the liter (L), the cubic centimeter (cm³), and the milliliter (mL)

46. Volume of a liquid
Measured with a Graduated Cylinder, Beaker or Erlenmeyer flask
Measured in Liters

48. Volume of a solid Calculated Measured in units3
